Abstract
New methods for the generation of iminyl radicals and other related ni trogen centered radicals are described. Intramolecular capture of such species allows an efficient yet simple construction of nitrogen conta ining heterocycles, especially relevant to the field of alkaloids. Imi nyl radicals can also be used to trigger the opening of strained rings such as cyclobutanones and certain cyclopentanones or incorporated in radical cascades in a synthetically useful manner.
